I switched about 9 months ago after reading posts by folks who swore by the Sony scph 1001 Play Station 1 and I was quite pleasantly surprised. So surprised, in fact, that I sold my modified Onix xcd-88 and Ack! Dac. The PS 1 is the best cd player that I've had in my system, bettering a Theta/ Audionote dac kit and Ah! Tjobe cd player. I found that it benefits from a good interconnect. I've used a Nordost Blue Heaven and a Signal Cable interconnect with good results. I also found that when I plugged it into my Monster HTS-2500 power conditioner, it got even better. The only real problem is that it's a drag to use the controller as a remote. Also, you really need to leave it on for a week before it really sounds its best. Then you have to leave it on all the time so it's ready to go. The quality of the music it creates is really quite amazing!
